The Russell Rice collection on University of Kentucky sports (10.5 cubic
feet, 30 boxes; dated 1876-1994 and undated, bulk 1920-1973) is now available on ExploreUK.
The collection is
comprised of sports-related materials gathered by Russell Rice, which
largely focus on University of Kentucky basketball and football but also
include materials related to other campus sports. There is extensive
coverage of Adolph Rupp, specifically in the areas of correspondence and
photographic materials, as well as correspondence related to the
Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts (1968-1991). Rice
was the sports information director for the University of Kentucky
Athletics Department (1968-1987)
